House of the Dragon (Game of Thrones Prequel - HBO) TV Show • Page 6

This looks fkin sick

 

It has to be. Still think we're not going to get into full scale war part of the Dance of Dragons until Season 3. My prediction is season 1's final scene will be Rhaenyra giving birth to the malformed stillborn while vowing revenge after the Small Counsel turned on her and i think season 2 will be mostly preparation for war/building alliances "war of the ravens" stuff, Pact of Ice & Fire, the Dragon duel at Storm's End, and probably ends on Blood & Cheese

 

What is this series based on? Are there other books?

 

it’s based on the Dance of Dragons targ civil war that happened a couple hundred years before GoT, which has been outlined in the coffee table book The World Of Ice and Fire, and more detailed in the Targ history book Fire & Blood that GRRM put out back in…2018 i wanna say?

 

I'm really interested to see how the people who didn't read the source material will react to this story especially seeing that compared to the GoT show there are no "good guys" in this story, both sides of the conflict are horrible in their own way, pretty much every adult character is either blatantly evil or dark shades of grey, except Nettles and possibly Corlys depending on how you interpret what he does at the end. Most characters that show signs of innocence or a good heart are either children or merc'd in the story quickly

 

I have this book but no coffee table, need to give it another look

 

God damn

 

Aight I’m in

 

YUP

 

Obviously considering how GoTs final season went I'm tempering my expectations but the trailer piqued my interest for sure

 

damn I got chills

 

awesome

 

I really hope this isn’t just fan service

 

i'll watch

 

Holy shit

 

im IN

 

Depends what you mean by fan service and what kind of fans they are directing that fan service to. Based on everything i've heard the showrunners want this to be a close to GRRMs original story as possible.

Without getting into any spoilers of the books I think if they do follow the source material that in the longterm some of the more casual "HBO/GoT show fans" will be furious at this show at several points. However I think the books fans will love every second.

 

Watched this a little more closely. At 2:00. Is that Aemond One-Eye I see? If that I didn't think were getting him really until next season

 

I want to believe that this will be good

 

Yep!

 

Had more time to actually pay attention to the trailer

Caraxes looks sick

 

yeah that would be my guess, looks to be training/sparring with Criston Cole. i don’t think we could spend a whole season without getting Alicent Hightower’s children.

And Aemond’s dragon mount is Vhagar, so fucking excited to see Vhagar in action. Curious to see how big she is compared to Drogon

 

Get a much better look at Aemond at 2:21 too

also at 1:08 and 1:29 is that Aegon?

 

Already drooling thinking about seeing Battle Above the Gods Eye down the road.
